Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness have always discussed their family's challenges. The couple has been open about their struggles and road to becoming parents.

Deborra-Lee Furness was unable to bear a child after she suffered two miscarriages, so they decided to have a family by adoption and the actor does not think of his children as being adopted.

Their first adopted child was a boy Oscar Maximilian Jackman, followed by their daughter Ava Eliot Jackman. Hugh has accepted that for him and his wife, things happened how they were meant to, and having biological children was not part of life's plans.

When they decided to adopt, the couple wanted children of mixed races because there was more of a need, as people usually turn away these children the most.

Who Is Ava Eliot Jackman?

Ava was born on July 10, 2005, and her parents adopted her right after birth. At that time, they already had an adopted son, Oscar Maximilian, who was born on May 15, 2000, and they adopted him about the same time he was born.

Ava Eliot Jackman's Relationship with Her Parents

After starring in the devastating family drama "The Son," Hugh revealed that his approach to being a parent changed. He said:

"[...] since this movie I've changed my approach. I share my vulnerabilities more with my 17 and 22-year-olds, and I see their relief when I do."

The actor is hopeful that the movie will help parents realize they do not always have to appear strong, dependable, and look like they have no worries all the time in the presence of their children because no one is immune to the mental health crisis.

Also, the actor's relationship changed with his children now they are all grown up. He could no longer tell them not to do things without giving them reasons why they shouldn't do those things.

While filming "The Son," the actor asked his dancer daughter her opinion on a dance move he wanted to try out. After he danced, Ava told him that if the idea for the scene was a nerdy dad dancing, then his move was perfect.

Despite his nerdy dad dancing, Ava banned him from coming to watch her dance class when she was 14 because, on one of his visits, he became the center of attraction.

However, Ava spends time with her father and mother and is on good terms with them. As a baby, she went with her dad to the wedding of his trainer in Sydney.

During the lockdown in September 2020, paparazzi spotted her and her dad walking their dogs, Dali and Allegra, in New York while wearing protective masks.

After the Australian actor lost his father in September 2021, Ava and her mother spent time together and even went out for lunch near their family home in New York.
